Stovetop Pot Roast
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 3-1/4 hours
YIELD: 10 servings.
I make this hearty stovetop favorite at least twice a month- my husband, Jim, loves it! You can use whatever vegetables are abundant in your garden. I like to cut up the leftovers, add gravy and warm it up like a stew.
